Luckily, most babies are mild-tempered and easy to calm,
like sweet
little lambs. But challenging babies are more like a mix of skittish cat
and bucking bronco. These excessively sensitive and/or intense babies
engage in a daily struggle to keep their balance
during their first months
of life.
Easy-Tempered Babies—“Mary Had a Little Lamb …”
Mild and mellow from the first moments of life, rather than scream at
birth,
an easy baby might shyly fuss, as if to say, “Please Mummy, it’s a
teensy bit too bright in here!”
Sabrina was one such undemanding baby:
Sabrina’s dark lashes framed eyes the color of the sky.
She was extremely alert, watching the world with the
peaceful gaze of an old Zen master. Sabrina slept
beautifully and hardly ever cried. Even when she was
hungry, she rarely made a noise louder than a whimper to
get her parents’ attention.
Easy-tempered babies have terrific state control and are great self-
calmers. They are easygoing little “surfer dudes”
who have no trouble
taking all the craziness of the world in stride.
However, babies who are very sensitive or intense—or, Heaven help
you, both—and who have poor self-calming skills may not be able to
keep from screaming as the world’s strange
mixture of action and
stillness toss them around like boats in a storm.
